Oral Surgery
The treatment of choice for TMJ ankylosis is condylectomy. This is a surgical procedure where the ankylotic tissue is removed from the temporomandibular joint, allowing for the restoration of normal joint movement.
Exercise and warm packs may be used as adjunctive treatments to help manage the symptoms of TMJ ankylosis and maintain joint mobility, but they are not the primary treatment for the condition itself. Steroid therapy and sclerosing solutions might be used in some cases, but condylectomy is the definitive surgical procedure to address the ankylosis directly by removing the bony or fibrous tissue that is obstructing the joint..

Physiology
Mossy fibers originate from various sources in the brain and spinal cord and terminate on granule cells in the granular layer of the cerebellum. The axons of granule cells, called parallel fibers, stimulate the purkinje cells and also synapse with interneurons such as stellate and basket cells in the molecular layer and Golgi cells in the granular layer. Climbing fibers originate from the inferior olivary nuclei and synapse directly on purkinje cells. The statement that stellate and basket cells are stimulated by inhibitory inputs from purkinje cells is incorrect; they are stimulated by parallel fibers and inhibit purkinje cells. Golgi cells are also stimulated by mossy fibers and help in the regulation of the overall output of the cerebellum.

PhysiologyCalcium is absorbed mainly in the duodenum and jejunum by an active transport mechanism regulated by 1,25 (OH)2 D3 (calcitriol). It is transported across the brush border of intestinal epithelial cells via TRPV6 channels and binds to calbindin. The absorbed calcium is then delivered to the basolateral membrane by calbindin, and from there it is transported into the bloodstream by either the sodium-calcium exchanger (NCX) or calcium-dependent ATPase.

Physiology
The vagus nerve, also known as the tenth cranial nerve, provides the parasympathetic innervation to various organs, including the lacrimal gland for tear production and pupillary constriction via the ciliary ganglia.
